Registrations for entry into the Year 7 2024 IGNITE program are now closed.
Registration for Year 7 2025 candidates will open in early November 2023.
The ACER IGNITE assessment is held in late February every year for Year 6 students entering Year 7 the following year.
The assessment comprises four parts, completed over a period of 3 to 5 hours with time allowed for a break.
Students are only permitted to sit the ACER assessment once.
If families want their student to sit the assessment in Year 5, they must have a signed recommendation from their primary school principal.
For rural and interstate families, we prefer the student attends the assessment at Glenunga, however arrangements may be made to sit the assessment at the student’s current primary school, provided the school principal approves the request and is willing to provide supervision.
Selection is based on the student’s ACER results. Under our Capacity Management Plan, we select 100 students per yearly intake.
